books by Ayn Rand     books:       The Virtue of Selfishness125 reviews Ayn Rand Signet, 1964 An Excellent Collection of Essays on Objectivism This book contains an excellent collection of essays on Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism and is appropriate for anyone seeking to obtain a deeper understanding of her philosophy beyond reading her novels. A few of the best essays contained within include: * The Objectivist Ethics -- this is Ayn Rand's presentation of her ethics of rational egoism (i.e., rational self-interest). * The ...             Atlas Shrugged1539 reviews Ayn Rand Plume, 1999 A Must Read After the Bible, this is the most important book you should read. I bought this book as a gift to send to two friends and have done so before. With the current economic crisis it takes on a new meaning.             Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC)39 reviews Ayn Rand Dutton Adult, 2005 Atlas Shrugged This, I think, is Ayn Rand's best. I love this book. You do have to get past some of the 'preachy' areas but the philosophy is spot on. There are some parts that get a little windy (as in long-winded) but a must read anyway.             Atlas Shrugged (In two parts)14 reviews Ayn Rand Blackstone Audio Inc., 2007 The novel for every freedom loving people If every American read this, our government would change and properity would become wide spread.             We the Living133 reviews Ayn Rand Signet, 1996 Brutal, Sincere, and Maybe Rand's Best Sometimes, after finishing a book, I feel deep within me that it is important that other people read it, too. I'm sure you feel the same way. We The Living is such a book. I can't say whether it is Rand's best fiction or not... certainly a better read than Atlas Shrugged or Anthem, but The Fountainhead looms large in my memory, and might still claim the throne. However, I wouldn't feel it ...             The Fountainhead966 reviews Ayn Rand Blackstone Audio Inc., 2007 "But I don't think of you" I'm not quite sure how she pulled it off, but with The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand managed to forge a literary masterpiece out of reheated libertarianism, stone age sexual politics, and dialogue that's so full of grandiose monologuing it would make William Shakespeare blush. I'm not being tongue-in-cheek here; I really do love this novel. I really do think that it's a jaw-dropping monument to the ...             Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal111 reviews Ayn Rand Signet, 1967 At Whose Expense? Ayn Rand, best known for her best selling fictional works outlining her own philosophy of Objectivism, presents a collection of thoughts on economics that provides one of the best explanations of laissez-faire capitalism available. Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal was my introduction to the Austrian economic school of thought and to this day, after considerable research on the subject, I cannot ...             Anthem8 reviews Ayn Rand Boomer Books, 2007 Loved it I only wish it lasted longer, I read this in about 30 minutes. I had first heard of this because I am recent new fan of RUSH, and their epic masterpiece 2112 is loosely based on this book. I loved it, I can see it being a hard read for younger people but I still recommend it to anybody.             Anthem Rand Ayn Book Jungle, 2008 Rand was a Russian born American author who pioneered the philosophy of "objectivism". Anthem is a futuristic science fiction novella. Man is in a dark age, because of earlier socialistic values. Technology is carefully planned and rarely allowed to advance. Individualism has almost ceased to exist. The theme of individualism versus collectivism runs throughout the novella.             Atlas Shrugged: 35th Anniversary Edition17 reviews Ayn Rand Signet, 1992 Those who preach selflessness do it for selfish reasons In today's political clime Rand's writing is must reading. We are currently experiencing a resurgence in the war on the individual, with Hillary Clinton dropping quotes right and left that sound remarkably similar to statements made by Stalin and Lenin. Enough is a enough. Those who preach collectivism are trying to subjugate you. Those who preach altruism typically have their hand in someone ...             For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand54 reviews Ayn Rand Signet, 1963 A new philosophical highway vs. old philosophical cul-de-sacs Ayn Rand presents her philosophy as an alternative to the two philosophical cul-de-sacs, which have dominated the field and every other branch of knowledge in modern times. This book opens with a fifty-page essay, which delineates the two most prevalent approaches in the history of western philosophical thought to the nature of man (ethics) and social organization (political philosophy). ...             The Romantic Manifesto43 reviews Ayn Rand Signet, 1971 Invaluable and irreplaceable When discussing the theory of art in Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan: A Historical Guide, I cited only Ayn Rand's esthetics. An early reader suggested I "balance" the presentation by mentioning other writers on esthetics. But here's the problem: no one surpasses or even equals Ayn Rand in the field of esthetics. Rand treats art with the same rigor she applies to metaphysics, epistemology, ...             Anthem437 reviews Ayn Rand Plume, 1999 Excellent Book If you read only one book this year, read this one. Thought provoking, moving, soul stirring.             Philosophy: Who Needs It40 reviews Ayn Rand Blackstone, 2006 What Can One Person Do? This is the title of Chapter 17. Chapter 1 is that one that got me hooked on this book as it offered a clear structure of philosophical concepts and practical applications of them that we all experience. My father complains that he doesn't have the vocabularly to debate the socialists we all have to endure. I suggested to him that he has the vocabulary, but not the structure and gave him this ...             Anthem2 reviews Ayn Rand Waking Lion Press, 2006 Rand is a great author This is a short story, very easy to read, with a powerful message. A cross between Logon's Run and Brave New World. Highly recommend.             The Romantic Manifesto: A Philosophy of Literature Ayn Rand World Publishing Co., 1969             Anthem Ayn Rand Blackstone Audiobooks, 2004 He lived in the dark ages of the future. In a loveless world he dared to love the woman of his choice. In an age that had lost all trace of science and civilization he had the courage to seek and find knowledge. But these were not the crimes for which he would be hunted. He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: he had stood forth from the mindless human herd. He was a man alone. Ayn Rand?s classic tale of a ...             Atlas Shrugged: Centennial Edition14 reviews Ayn Rand Plume, 2004 One of The Great Novels I first read Atlas Shrugged almost 30 years ago on the advice of a friend, who described it as the best book he had ever read. I also found it to be in that class. It had a profound effect on me. I was moved by it toward a (even more) conservative view of politics and econimics, to the extent of becoming a little too "mean-spirited" and maybe a little paranoid. I realize now that Ms. Rand ...              search for books 35th, anniversary, anthem, atlas, ayn, capitalism, centennial, edition, fountainhead, ideal, intellectual, literature, living, manifesto, needs, new, parts, philosophy, rand, romantic, selfishness, shrugged, two, unknown, virtue, who books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
